“…Such a specification is particularly necessary because of different streams of understanding in scientific discourse (Rüede and Lurtz, 2012), also reflected by the broad variety of scientific and practical approaches in anthologies on social innovation like the Atlas of Social Innovation series (Howaldt et al, 2018. As Havas points out: social innovations "draw on different types (scientific and practical) and forms (codified and tacit) of knowledge, stemming from various sources" (Havas, 2016). For delimiting the concept, it first needs to be differentiated from other approaches to innovation in general: different to the term "innovation, " the term of social innovation is obviously distinguishable by putting the social aspect into focus.…”

Fostering entrepreneurship and inclusive societies are on top of EU policy agenda. This article is bringing together both aims by discussing a social innovation framework for inclusive entrepreneurial education for persons with disabilities. Similar to other disadvantaged groups, persons with disabilities can benefit from entrepreneurial skills for self-management or, on a next level, for starting own, opportunity-driven businesses. The framework suggests several building blocks considered necessary for successful entrepreneurial education for the beneficiaries. First, it is approaching the framework through a social innovation perspective. In doing so, it suggests a social innovation ecosystem perspective to operationalize all relevant stakeholders and contextual aspects relevant for the framework. Second, it suggests to build on socially innovative, hence novel, practices by starting from co-creation and co-production in order to meet individual demands and needs of learners. Furthermore, it takes the concept of universal design into account as it holds major implications for inclusive entrepreneurial education for persons with disabilities and underlines the need of different, more suitable practices in entrepreneurship education and beyond, toward an inclusive learning ecosystem.

“…Rather, it is a focusing device that highlights (i) the types of actors who can be involved in actual innovation processes, playing their own, diverse roles; (ii) the types and forms of knowledge, which are needed for successful innovations; (iii) the importance of interactions and exchanges among the actors, including the flow of information, knowledge, and capital; (iv) the role played by the formal and informal rules that govern these interactions and flows, and thus the key role of the actors who set and shape these rules; as well as (v) the other elements of the macro environment, including the education system, the information infrastructure, and the availability of private and public funds for innovation. 17 For a review of other models of innovation developed to analyse business innovationsthe science-push, the market-pull, as well as the so-called chain-linked onessee Havas (2016), where the focus is on the (ir)relevance of these models to study social innovations.…”

Social innovation has been widely studied as an approach to mitigate wicked problems and their associated grand challenges. Even so, there are a myriad of location‐specific hurdles to successful formation, design, implementation, and scaling that require the expertise and integration of local partner knowledge. In this regard, there is a dearth of research identifying the impact of such stakeholder empowerment when potential solutions, ideas, and projects are forming—particularly in an international context. To address this gap, we used a qualitative case study approach with semi‐structured interviews to follow projects through the initial, developmental, and implementation/termination periods of the social innovation journey. Sample projects include solar power technology for off‐grid rural populations, the development of a mobile app to facilitate the movement of time‐sensitive goods, and the development of a compostable toilet to replace pit latrines. The findings indicate the stakeholder empowerment criteria of (1) collective action and (2) the reconfiguration of social relations are most impactful during the initial idea gestation component of the journey and serve as an early signal of project survival or termination. In addition, they are also most impactful during the setbacks and criteria shift components, wherein local partners signal practical constraints from institutional voids that must be addressed alternatively. This research provides a foundation for future studies on the early formation of social innovations and their likelihood of survival with stakeholder empowerment.
